Your job?

I work in a rehab/long-term nursing home and I love it. My residents adore me. When I left out of town and had to come back and they found it they took me right back before I even moved back into town.

It's nice. I love my job and get paid very nicely.

Don't you just love those wealthy widows less any children? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :yesyes: :1orglaugh :thumbsup:

I'm a personal trainer. I have my own business and also work at a gym on the side because sometimes I don't get enough clients on my own. It's not a bad job, you'll almost always see overweight people everywhere you go who could stand to work out, but some people don't want to spring for it because of trying to save their money. Plus, sometimes you can get some people who are just rude to work with or just plain crazy. Unfortunately, I seem to attract more of the latter.

As of right now I'm a hostess at a local restaurant. I like it at times... I also run check in at a swingers party every month. If I could do that every week that'd be awesome. I also model in my spare time for my site.

Yea, I can't stick to just one job :1orglaugh

Yeah, it is annoying to a degree, but we're paid hourly, so the more times we redo something the more hours we work.

One of my coworkers told a story about when they were working on What Dreams May Come. They spent a whole month building a set. When they finished, the director came to look at the set, and decided that he wanted the scene to be shot from the opposite perspective, so they had to tear everything down and build it flipped around.

I love that movie!
 
Not sure if this was mentioned:
Depending on where you live you can file for unemployment if you work less than 15? hr/week.
depending on what union/if you work for a union, you are guaranteed 20hr/week even if you work less; so you get paid at least 20hrs every week.
Lastly: if you have a contract to work so many hours (verbal or written) they have to pay you for said hours...
I hope this helps!
 
Primarily, I'm a representative for Hill's Science Diet pet food. I work for a company that has Hill's as a client and I go to Petco, Petsmart etc... to check on merchandise, sales, help customers, and inform employees about current happenings. I also do plan-o-gram resets, which I'm currently doing for my Petco stores for the next 3 weeks because of the new Science Diet products. It's an okay job, the downside is that I use my own car so I add mileage when I travel in my territory. I do get paid for the mileage but it still takes a toll on my car. It's the closest I'll ever go back to retail though.

Before that I worked for Toys R Us for 8 years until I was laid off in 2008. I wish I kept a journal of the stupidity that I witnessed from customers, employees, management and upper management. It was while working for this company, when started asking myself "what the fuck is wrong with people?" Over the course of the 8 years I had worked at one store and transferred to another store. When the 2nd store closed in 2008, I was told by the district manager that if I wanted to go back to the original store , I could. Everyone else didn't get that offer, not even management. I told him no, because I had enough and took my severance package. Of course I didn't realize that the economy would go to hell and I would be on unemployment, but it was still the best decision.

Now, I don't really deal with the customers too much unless they are directly buying Hill's products or are interested in the product. If customers ask me questions about anything else in the store (because they assume I work there), I just simply tell them I'm not an employee for Petco, Petsmart etc....

I was able to get this job because I knew my boss from a previous job, doing something similar. She had an opening, I was on unemployment looking for work and she asked if I wanted it.

I work as a resource counselor at a non-profit assisting working class and poor people with housing, public transportation needs, job searches, and clothing. This past month has been hectic because our funding has been cut drastically and telling clients we no longer offer certain services, such as helping to pay for their gasoline expenses, often times results in them yelling at us or storming out of the building in a fit of rage.
